Drivers of coral reef marine protected area performance
PLOS ONE, 2017 Coral reefs are severely threatened and a principal strategy for their conservation is marine protected areas (MPAs). However the drivers of MPA performance are complex and there are likely to be trade-offs between different types of performance (e.g. conservation or welfare related outcomes).

Rapidly increasing macroalgal cover not related to herbivorous fishes on Mesoamerican reefs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Long-term phase shifts from coral to macroalgal dominated reef systems are well documented in the Caribbean. Although the impact of coral diseases, climate change and other factors is acknowledged, major herbivore loss through disease and overfishing is ...

Prioritizing phylogenetic diversity to protect functional diversity of reef corals
Diversity and Distributions, 2022 AbstractAimThe ecosystem functions and services of coral reefs are critical for coastal communities worldwide. Due to conservation resource limitation, species need to be prioritized to protect desirable properties of biodiversity, such as functional diversity (FD), which has been associated with greater ecosystem functioning but is difficult to ...

Coral Reef Geometry and Hydrodynamics in Beach Erosion Control in North Quintana Roo, Mexico
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Coral reefs are increasingly recognized for their shoreline protection services. The hydrodynamic performance of this ecosystem is comparable to artificial low-crested structures often used in coastal protection, whose objective is to emulate the former.

Sustained coral reef growth in the critical wave dissipation zone of a Maldivian atoll
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Sea-level rise is expected to outpace the capacity of coral reefs to grow and maintain their wave protection function, exacerbating coastal flooding and erosion of adjacent shorelines and threatening coastal communities. Here we present a new method that
